The tweets address Brown’s comments at iconic musician Chuck Brown’s memorial service last week, in which he told go-go haters to “get over it.” What seemed to some as an innocent tribute to the late icon soundedtootherslike a veiled reference to Marion Barry’s famous 1994 comment telling his Ward 3 critics to “get over it.”

Brown, in other words, wants those who would compare his quote to Barry’s to get over it.

He’s always been prickly, incidentally, about comparisons to Barry, who employed his father, whose Youth Leadership Institute he attended and whose political legacy he inherited.

Brown’s resignation letter tendered to the council Wednesday said he’d “apologized to the residents of our great city,” but he has yet to publicly address the charge against him in any way. Brown said Wednesday he would speak in some manner Thursday, but no announcement has yet been made.
